Watch Serial Number Lookup

Tudor Serial Number Lookup & Watch History Check

Tudor, part of the Rolex Group but run as its own manufacturer, engraves a serial number on every watch. Here's where to find it and how to check it before you buy or sell.

Watch checks & theft reports

A database check is not proof of authenticity or ownership.

Where to find the serial number on a Tudor watch

On most Tudor models the serial number is engraved between the lugs at the 6 o'clock side, hidden under the bracelet or strap β€” similar in placement to Rolex. On newer models it may also be etched on the rehaut. It is also printed on the warranty card.

  • Between the lugs at 6 o'clock, under the bracelet or strap
  • Rehaut (inner bezel ring) on newer models
  • Warranty card issued at purchase

What the serial number can tell you

It uniquely identifies your individual watch. Tudor does not publish a public consumer serial-to-date lookup, so serial-number conventions vary by model and production period β€” verify specifics with an authorized Tudor dealer.

  • Confirms the individual watch when matched with your warranty card
  • Reference for warranty and service history through the authorized network
  • Can be checked against stolen-watch records

Can the serial number prove authenticity?

No, not by itself. Because Tudor shares brand recognition with Rolex, it is also a counterfeit target β€” a plausible serial number does not confirm the physical watch is genuine.

How to check whether a Tudor watch is stolen

  1. 1

    Find the serial number

    Check the case back, between the lugs, the rehaut, the movement, the warranty card and the original box or papers. Locations vary by brand β€” see the brand guides below.

  2. 2

    Note the reference number too

    Most brands also stamp a separate reference or model number. Together, the two numbers identify the exact watch far better than either alone.

  3. 3

    Search StolenWatchX

    Run the serial number through our stolen-watch database to check whether matching watch information has been reported stolen.

  4. 4

    Read the result carefully

    A match or a clean result is one data point, not a verdict β€” compare the watch's details carefully either way.

  5. 5

    Get professional help if needed

    For a significant purchase, pair your search with authentication from the manufacturer, an authorized dealer or an independent watch specialist.

Tudor-specific serial number information

Tudor is manufactured by Montres Tudor SA, a sister company to Rolex, and shares some case and bracelet conventions while operating as its own brand with distinct references (such as the Black Bay line). Serial-number conventions vary by model and production period, so confirm specifics through an authorized Tudor dealer rather than an unofficial decoder.

Buying a used Tudor watch

  • Confirm the seller's identity and ownership history
  • Record the serial number from between the lugs and the reference number
  • Ask for the original warranty card and box if available
  • Check the serial number against StolenWatchX before paying
  • Get a significant purchase authenticated by an authorized Tudor dealer

Check this watch before you trust it

Run the serial number through StolenWatchX's stolen-watch database, then report anything suspicious so other buyers are protected too.

Frequently asked questions

Where is the serial number on a Tudor watch?

Typically engraved between the lugs at the 6 o'clock side, under the bracelet or strap β€” similar to Rolex placement β€” and on newer models also etched on the rehaut. It's printed on the warranty card as well.

Is Tudor the same as Rolex for serial number purposes?

No. Tudor is manufactured by Montres Tudor SA, a sister company to Rolex, but it uses its own model references and serial records. Verify a Tudor watch through an authorized Tudor dealer, not a Rolex-specific resource.

Does a genuine-looking serial number confirm my Tudor is authentic?

No, not by itself. Tudor's association with Rolex makes it a counterfeit target too, so pair a serial check with authentication from an authorized dealer for anything valuable.

How do I check if a Tudor watch is stolen?

Find the serial number between the lugs (or on the rehaut on newer models) and search it through StolenWatchX's stolen-watch database before buying or accepting the watch.
